Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the Vi1 mixing console flightcase with doghouse?
The heavy-duty flightcase is designed to transport and protect the Soundcraft Vi1 mixing console and its doghouse (cable enclosure) during touring. It safeguards the console from damage during shipping, setup/breakdown, and storage between venues.
Why is a dedicated flightcase essential for touring the Vi1 console?
The Vi1 is a high-value, sensitive piece of equipment with motorized faders, screens, and complex electronics that require protection during frequent transportation. A purpose-built flightcase ensures the console arrives at each venue in perfect condition.
How does the clamshell design of the flightcase improve workflow?
The clamshell design allows the console to be placed in the case and closed quickly for transport, then opened flat at the next venue for immediate setup. This reduces load-out and load-in time, critical for touring productions.
What materials and construction make the flightcase roadworthy?
The case is constructed from 3-inch by 4-inch plywood with aluminum gussets at corners and edges, providing impact resistance and durability for rough touring environments. This is standard professional flightcase construction.
Can the flightcase be moved easily during venue setup and breakdown?
Yes, the flightcase is equipped with four casters (wheels), two of which lock in place for stability during transport. This allows crew members to move the heavy case efficiently during load-in and load-out.
Does the case protect the doghouse cable enclosure separately, or do they fit together?
The flightcase is specifically designed to transport the Vi1 console together with its doghouse cable enclosure, keeping both components protected and organized for efficient touring.
What lead times apply to the Vi1 flightcase order in the UAE and GCC?
The Vi1 flightcase is available on a request-a-quote basis across the UAE and GCC. Contact Procure.ae to confirm current availability and delivery timeframes.
Does Procure.ae provide shipping of the flightcase and assembly support?
Procure.ae supplies professional equipment cases and provides installation support for audio equipment in the UAE and GCC. Contact the team to discuss case delivery and any assembly or configuration guidance needed.
What are the dimensions and weight capacity of the flightcase?

Is the flightcase covered by a warranty?
Soundcraft provides warranty coverage on equipment cases. For warranty terms and coverage details specific to the Vi1 flightcase, contact Procure.ae.
Why is a genuine Soundcraft flightcase better than a generic roadcase?
The genuine Soundcraft case is engineered for exact fitment of the Vi1 console and doghouse, providing purpose-built protection with proper padding, internal support, and cable management. Generic cases may not provide adequate protection or proper fitment.
